Description
Paper is crafted from three sugar cane in a horizontal row, producing three sheets. That simple recipe makes reed farms one of the most important early infrastructure projects. The item appears in maps, books, firework rockets, cartography table workflows, banner patterns, and villager trading, so demand grows instead of disappearing.
Its value changes with game stage. Early on, it unlocks exploration maps and bookshelves. Later, it becomes the backbone of elytra rocket production and librarian emerald loops. Because sugar cane grows beside water and can be harvested automatically with pistons or observers, large supplies are easy to build once the first farm is running.
